A used hybrid would cost you nowhere near $45,000

Gasoline prices need to keep on rising; we need to save the planet for humanity (it needs to be habitable). Go ahead and tell me...how many electric vehicles do you have? Oil and gas isn't going to destroy the planet, and neither is a cow fart!! You've drank the "existential crisis" kool-...

What's really getting to you rooty? You're just a mess of formless, inchoate rage. Perhaps you should just have a wank, eh?

Darryl Perry looks like a real winner.

What's so good about private jobs?

I mean, America is going to fall to fascism and this is why.

Trump was clearly guilty. Your political process is corrupt to the core.

I don't know. The only way the system in the US can be changed is revolution*. Unfortunately, the people in the best position to make that revolution will not make things bettter.

You're presenting the Libertarians as a solution. I am explaining why they aren't.

Liberrtarians are opposed to government intervention in any form whasoever. They would allow the healthcare and housing crises to fester on their own in the belief that 'the market' will take care of it. They have no plans to address it because they don't believe that it's their job to fix it. That'...

The Libertarian Party is not a valid alternative. Going in the wrong direction twice as fast will not get you to your destination.

Libertarians will fuck up the housing and healthcare crises even more, give unlimited powers to business and marketise ecological action. They're absolutely right that libertarianism is a threat to ordinary Americans. Why, looking at the damage that laissez-faire economics have done to the Anglosphe...

Still foaming at the mouth about Trump I see. You've got "Trump rabies". Get vaccinated and let it go. Trump is ancient history. Trump has done immense damage to the institution of democracy and the institutions of American democracy. If his actions aren't shown to have consequences, the ...

Because if oil prices drop too far, oil extraction in the US becomes untenable, closes down and hands the whole business over to OPEC and possibly Russia.

44mpg out-of-town isn't great. Most modern cars are 60+ and hybrids will get 90 and above. How big is your family?

Low oil prices are bad for the US economy and good for OPEC.

Fuel prices in the US are ridiculously low.

Buy a more fuel-efficient car next time. Hybrids are practical for most people.

Oh, you're an incel. Makes sense.

I was commenting on her Asian half. I see. Her "black half" doesn't float your boat. She isn't full blooded black. She's half and half. Now I understand why you identify more with President Obama's "white half", and so comfortable with your toxic masculinity. LOL!!! You're one o...

Are you really this clueless or are you just being a bellshaft?

I mean, I get paid for sitting here. What's your motivation?

Obamacare isn't a single-payer system.

I hope Trump doesn't get to paranoid now. Nixon started boozing heavily in 1974 when his presidency started collapsing. His instability was so noticeable to his aids that Nixon’s defense secretary, James Schlesinger secretly instructed the military that no nuclear weapons could be used unless appro...

I bet if I had said mandatory health insurance you would have understood. I believe insurance is the choice of the individual. Why not address the cost of services. Single-payer is HOW you address the cost of services. How does a single-payer health insurance system address the cost of services? I ...

Why not address the cost of services.

Single-payer is HOW you address the cost of services.

Next time, probably best to try to work out what point you're trying to make before putting your hands to the keyboard?

Well the Senate depends on the two races in Georgia and a Democrat has already won one seat and the other Democrat is likely to win the other seat. Looks like a 50/50 split in the Senate with Vice President Kamala Harris holding the tie breaking vote! Could we be on our way to legalized marijuana n...

Why do Americans persist in thinking that British people in the 21st Century care about that?

It's OK for him to be so mentally ill that he wants to kill himself but not OK that he could actually do it.

The US is fucked up. Britain is fucked up. We've fallen asleep and woken in The High Castle.

No-one expects Trump to serve a second term, but pushing against the checks and balances and eroding the safety measures that protect The US against tyranny has been a successful project. The people around Trump are delegitimising first his opponents then the democratic process then democracy itself...

Modern Roots in ‘not having a clue what he’s banging on about’ shocker. I'm afraid modern roots' affliction isn't rare, however. The vast majority of americans have knuckled under to the intense manipulations they endure daily in our society. Brain washing works! Our powers that be want derision am...
